[ccp4bb] Florets- How to improve it

2009-05-18 Thread james09 pruza
Deal all, Sorry for the non-ccp4 query. I am new to this field and need some suggestions regarding the improvement in the crystallization qual I have crystallized a protein with 65% MPD in 0.1M Acetate buffer pH 3.6 at 4 degree. The florets appear after 2 days and covers the whole drop. What

Re: [ccp4bb] How to improve crystal which is twinning?

Heng-- Two things you might want to try: 1. Drop ratios with your current conditions and DMSO additive. Use different concentrations of DMSO too. 2. Try using Hampton Crystal Screen and Crystal Screen 2 as additives. I generally do this by adding 5% of XS 1 2 to the wells. Once I find

[ccp4bb] Modeling DNA triple helices - MORCAD

Dear, I apologize for the non-ccp4 question. I'm looking for an (alternative) modeling tool for DNA triple helices, such as the earlier Morcad program: MORCAD, and object-oriented molecular modelling package running on IBM RS/6000 and SGI 4Dxxx workstations M. Le Bret, J. Gabarro-Arpa,

Re: 65% MPD in 0.1M Acetate buffer pH 3.6 These conditions can crystallize salt impurities present in the protein buffer. The first step is to ensure that the crystals are protein. If they are protein the next step is to reduce the MPD concentration and seed the drops if no crystals appear.

[ccp4bb] Recompiling REFMAC with larger MAXLINK

2009-05-18 Thread Edward Miller
Hey Folks, I'm trying to refine a full capsid in REFMAC with about 25 atoms. I haven't been successful and I suspect it's due to the MAXLINKS parameter in atom_com.fh. This is what I observe in the refmac log: WARNING: number of links limit. change parameter MAXLINK in
